Techniques for supporting Wi-Gig bus extension and Wi-Gig display extension as peripheral function protocols in wireless docking

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for wireless communication. In one method, a request may be received at a Wi-Fi docking center (WDC) regarding one or more peripheral function protocols (PFPs) supported by the WDC, and a response message indicating whether the WDC supports at least a Wi-Gig Bus Extension (WBE) as a PFP or a Wi-Gig Display Extension (WDE) as a PFP may be transmitted. In another method, a request may be transmitted to a WDC regarding one or more PFPs supported by the WDC, and a response message may be received from the WDC. The request may be transmitted using a first peer-to-peer (P2P) connection. The response message may indicate whether the WDC supports at least a WBE as a PFP or a WDE as a PFP.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, at a Wi-Fi docking center (WDC), a request regarding one or more peripheral function protocols (PFPs) supported by the WDC; transmitting a response message indicating whether the WDC supports at least a Wi-Gig Bus Extension as a PFP, or a Wi-Gig Display Extension as a PFP, or a combination thereof; determining whether a particular PFP supported by the WDC is deployed using a Wi-Fi direct services (WFDS) application services platform (ASP); and upon determining that the particular PFP supported by the WDC is not deployed using the WFDS ASP, setting a value of a service information element to a null value.
